Not me having sat on this blank blog for months until i finally take a proper picture of my boy so he can be my first post.. Heres my boy!
This is Delec Gearstorm!! He is an iron legion engineer from the storm warband! He has had many roles from turret master to explosives specialist to his brief time when he was put on scrapper duty to now loving bashing things with his wrench! He has done and seen it all. Please look at my boy!
Here he is ready to fight! Trusty wrench ready to bonk!
FYI Kasjory fans, if you wanna support ANet making their wedding there is a thread already in the forums under EoD and Icebrood suggestions. Since ANet is specifically requesting things you want to see this fits in there!
Big news: I landed on VGen and i'm opening a few slots there!
To celebrate this event I'm offering:
20% discount for the first person booking an Illustration or custom Sketch commission on VGen!*
10% discount on surprise (skeb) commissions booked on vgen (until 7th June or fully booked)
Click here to land on my VGen page: vgen.co/astraycat
Not fancying VGen? Fear not :3 I'm not stopping accepting commissions the old way.
Click here to see my usual commission page: syti.altervista.org/comms.php
Keep on reading for more info about discounts and other stuff
For the ones who don't know, VGen is a middleman that grant both artists and customers a certain level of safety when dealing with each other. It's also a nice tool to navigate options and follow progress closely!
*How to have the 20% discount on VGen:
it's valid only for Illustrations and custom Sketches
book a commission: the price will be full
if you're the first one booking, I'll reply with a discounted price offer (20% of the total)
if you're not the first one booking, I'll reply with a regular price. You can still decline at that point!
I'm really curious about how VGen is, both for me and for customers. I'd love to hear your experiences (also if you tried it already with other artists).
Things are going a bit meh with work so any reblog and help spreading the work is truly, truly appreciated!!
Name(s): Tidus Hardsoul
Age: Late 20s
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Warband: Soul (member)
Affiliation: Blood Legion
Profession: Soldier who does long distance transport of goods and materials
Tidus is a fun-loving man who loves to explore, making his current job his dream job. On the road for days or even weeks at a time, he gets to see all of what Tyria has to offer. He, his trusty cart and his dolyak Jessy have been everywhere at this point. Despite his naive and loud "frat boy" personality, he's surprisingly sensitive, and what he wants more than anything are deep connections and new friends.
Fun facts:
A nudist at heart, he only wears armor because he has to; if you're lucky (or unlucky), might find him naked in his cart when he thinks no one's gonna chew him out for it
Wants to be friends with everyone he can, especially if you look like you need a pal! Don't be surprised if he offers you a drink, or just a friendly paw
He's loud and loves a good joke
Loves sex, hates one-night stands; the worst you can do to him is leave him in the middle of the night without saying goodbye
Falls in love too easily; has broken his own heart many, many times
Loves to show off how huge and ripped he is. Don't complement him too much, it might go to his head!
The king of making bad decisions that get him in trouble, there's rarely a road trip he has where something doesn't go wrong
His Centurion, Centurion Ripmaw, hates his guts because he's always causing trouble
Proud to be Blood, a big "my Legion is the best Legion" guy
He and his warband don't actually see eachother much, due to the entire warband having the same job. It's rare they all get together at once, making Tidus surprisingly unfamiliar with his own bandmates
You can find him playing bar games in your favorite bar, drinking himself silly making dumb decisions, or doing drills in the rain because he once again didn't fill out his paperwork like he was supposed to.
Whoa...Necromancer specific dialogue. I think this would once again hit Leo in a way...something so integral to his identity being respected and acknowledged. His relationship to spirits is such a huge part of who he is and he often keeps it to himself because of how necromancy is misunderstood.....man
Sometimes if I'm stuck on a phonecall for too long I'll start making GW2 characters for fun. A distant relative had an annoying day at work today so my new favorite character, Kind Friendguy, exists now
He will obviously be a healing focused elementalist
the act of flying on your griffon and slamming your face into the ground right as you try to pull out of a dive is emotionally indistinguishable from the sensation of getting your headphones yanked out by a door handle

🌈What is Tyria Pride?
Tyria Pride is a two-day in-game pride march from one corner of (core) Tyria to the other to show support both LGBTQ players and devs, and a fundraiser for Rainbow Railroad, a non-profit organisation which helps queer people escape state-sponsored persecution and violence around the world.
It's tons of fun every year, a ton of streamers join in so there are many ways to follow along even if you're not in game, music guilds hold concerts, and we have some pretty legendary giveaways! It's always blast!
